If you need any more evidence that spring is really here, be sure to attend the Arts in Bloom exhibition at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, 98 Hayden Rowe in Hopkinton. Arts in Bloom is an annual, juried exhibit sponsored by the Cultural Arts Alliance that showcases new and exciting work created by artists living and working in New England. All works reflect a floral theme in imagery, color, design or conceptual elements, and once again the Hopkinton Garden Club is providing one-of-a-kind floral arrangements to complement the prize-winning artwork. Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. and weekdays 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 pm. The exhibition is free and open to the public. The public is also invited to a reception on April 5 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
“It looks like many people had spring fever this year because we had our most competitive year ever, with 68 artists submitting 202 pieces of art,” said Kris Waldman, director of the CAA. “Our juror, Arthur Dion from Gallery NAGA, (who will also help curate the show), had the honor of selecting 25 artists and 31 pieces of art, with the result being a very vibrant and delightful exhibition.”
